    This week we spoke to Sam Worthington-Leese.

    Sam had a very unlucky start to his aviation career with being made redundant from the RAF then his flight school going bust. Sam very quickly bounced back and gained his tail wheel, CPL, ME/IR and instructor rating in a very impressive 13 months! Sam then started flying the Harvard T6 which led to him Soloing a Spitfire!
